Chapter 975: Saving The Country In A Roundabout Way
Tao Yueyue took a deep breath and said, "Observer of humanity!"
Hai Guoyang smiled gracefully. "Don't be so nervous, I won't push you down. Today is a very important day."
"You... couldn't you just concentrate on making money? Why are you doing this kind of thing?"
"Actually, the two of us are kindred spirits. A few years ago, you wanted to kill a boy. That boy happened to be my target. I was the one who saved you. In fact, your turning point is still far off. You are malleable. By the way, did the things that happened over the past two days impact your young mind?" Hai Guoyang patted her shoulder and pointed outside. Below, there was a homeless man who was rummaging through the trash can. "If the life function tells you that he’d kill six people in the afternoon, do you think it's a sin to push him onto the road now?"
"Of course it is sin. Murder is sin!"
"Which is more serious, the crime of killing six people, or the crime of killing a murderer in advance?"
"That’s incomparable!"
"Yes, it cannot be compared in terms of human nature, but it is comparable in terms of law. Killing six people is certainly worse than killing one person. Isn't the law the creed of the police? I can prove the life function is accurate in 10,000 ways, but you will always stop me. Your denial is an instinctive rejection, because you only see the person in front of you being killed. However, I watch over everything. Over these past two years, Long’an has been peaceful and the crime rate has plummeted. I believe you’re aware of it."
Tao Yueyue swallowed nervously. This person's aura completely crushed her, and she only knew now how naive her trying to sound him out was.
She had spent a few days with Zhou Xiao. There was crazy blood boiling within Zhou Xiao's body, but this person was different. He was so calm, like the endless sea, which couldn't help but make people suspect that he was a visitor from the future.
"But... you put... people who aren’t criminals..." Tao Yueyue was still struggling.
Hai Guoyang suddenly grabbed her hand, stared at her closely, and asked, "Do you want to become my executor?"
"What!?"
"Use your criminal talents in the right way to avoid having your future turning point being triggered. If you become my executor, it won’t conflict with your future identity as a police officer because all of this is for protecting this city!"
Tao Yueyue seemed to have heard the temptation of the devil, and pushed him away with all her strength, shouting, "It's not right to kill people!"
"Yueyue!" Chen Shi rushed over and saw Tao Yueyue standing alone by the window with a panicked expression. "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Tao Yueyue looked back. Hai Guoyang, who had been talking next to her just now, had actually disappeared though this corridor had only two exits. She didn't want Chen Shi to worry, so she said, "I'm fine. I just went to the bathroom."
"I thought you got lost. Let’s head back!"
"Huh? We’re not investigating Hai Guoyang anymore?"
"I have already confirmed that it’s him, and kk has also gotten the list of employees."
"You guys are so fast!"
"There are so many people today. Fishing in troubled waters is his specialty."
Back in the bureau, Chen Shi assigned tasks to everyone. Everyone will be investigating a suspect on the list. When it was Tao Yueyue's turn, he said, "You and Xiaodong will carry out the task together."
"But I want to be with you..."
"As a police officer, how can you investigate crimes with your family every day? You have to learn to get along with your partner."
Although reluctant, Tao Yueyue still obeyed the order.
The person assigned to Tao Yueyue and Xu Xiaodong was named Hao Yunlai. He had left the company three years ago and was already in his forties that year. He was single and unemployed.
The two found Hao Yunlai's home but the door was locked. It was impossible to determine whether anyone was at home. Tao Yueyue took out the two-piece lock-picking set as per usual. Xu Xiaodong asked, "What are you doing?"
"Going in to search!"
"Quickly put those away. It is illegal to break into a private residence."
"When I was with Uncle Chen..."
"I don't care if you’ve done it before, but now that you are my partner, you have to listen to me. If the police themselves do not abide by the law, how can they uphold the law? Unless there are special circumstances, lock-picking is definitely not our first option."
Tao Yueyue showed a disdainful expression. "Then tell me how we should investigate?"
Xu Xiaodong thought, "Brother Chen said that our investigation should be kept secret, and not to let the other party know that we’re the police..." His eyes fell on the decorative couplet on the door, which was a gift from a certain matchmaking website.
Xu Xiaodong turned on his phone, found the website, checked it, and said, "Hey, there’s a way! Hao Yunlai has a matchmaking profile on this website. We can meet him using the excuse of a blind date in order to understand the situation."
"Don't look at me. I’m a child. How can I go on a blind date? Why don’t you disguise yourself as a middle-aged woman instead?!"
"Uh…"
Xu Xiaodong was momentarily speechless. Tao Yueyue was short with a baby face. No matter what, she didn’t look like an adult, but would he be able to disguise himself as a woman without being exposed?
Tao Yueyue urged, "Brother Xiaodong has good skin, a small face, and a good figure. If you dress up as a middle-aged woman, he will definitely be willing to talk to you."
"I have no experience..."
"There’s a first time for everything!"
It was Xu Xiaodong’s idea so he could only bite the bullet and go to a nearby clothing store to pick out women's clothes and a wig. After putting on some simple makeup, he really looked like a young woman but he’d be exposed as soon as he spoke.
He went to the Internet to search for fake voice tutorials. After practicing for an hour, he learned how to raise his pitch. It sounded pretty good.
During this period, Tao Yueyue used Xu Xiaodong's mobile phone to register an account and filled in the information blindly.
After everything was done, Tao Yueyue dialed a customer service hotline on the website, handed the mobile phone to Xu Xiaodong. "You can talk to them!"
Xu Xiaodong took it nervously, raised the pitch of his voice and said, "Hello".
"Hello, this is XX network, what can I do for you?"
"I saw a Mr. Hao on your website, his name is Hao Yunlai, and I intend to meet him." Xu Xiaodong said in a false voice, Tao Yueyue was beside him, giving him a thumbs up.
"Please quote your membership number."
"XXXXX!"
"Ms. Li, right? I read your information. Your conditions are pretty good. Our website will arrange a suitable candidate for a blind date on your behalf."
"No, no, I just want to meet this Mr. Hao. I think he is quite suitable. I have to catch a plane tonight and plan to have this date in the afternoon. I will pay you the agency fee immediately."
A company opens their doors to do business, so the website had no reason to refuse. "Well then, let me talk to Mr. Hao."
Later, the call was returned, and the person from the website said, "Mr. Hao said that he is free today. You can set the date’s location!"
"I want to go to his house, mainly to see his house’s condition."
"Okay, I will convey it."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. Tao Yueyue praised, "A good start. They completely believe it!"
"I just want to say that this kind of website’s monitoring is too lax. You can meet others directly without verification of identity information. Didn't they ask for an ID card when you registered?"
"They did, I just found an ID card from your mobile phone and uploaded it. Your name is Li Hongxia right now."
"Fuck, that's the ID of the drug addict who was just arrested two days ago!"
"The certified photo is also hers."
Xu Xiaodong was completely speechless. "What should I do when I meet him and get exposed?"
"Just say it was photoshopped!" Tao Yueyue couldn't help laughing.
